The knock on Miller is his size -- he's in the 240s. But he's also a ferocious talent who's already won the respect of his fellow players by putting his name on the ongoing lawsuit against owners alongside the likes of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. And the contrast between his honest tears yesterday and the smugness of Cam Newton, who came across as entitled even while mouthing what appeared to be carefully rehearsed answers to questions from ESPN's Suzy Kolber after the Carolina Panthers took a flier on him, couldn't be more stark.
Simply put, the Miller pick was a great start for the John Fox era -- one that offers hope that the Broncos' current funk won't be long-lived. But don't believe us. Go to the video below, featuring Miller at the draft and a highlight reel of his A&M beastliness.
